Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vehicle brake system having at least two brake pressure lines, via which a master brake cylinder is connected to wheel brake cylinders, as defined hereinafter.
  • a master brake cylinder is acted upon with pressure with the aid of a foot pedal. This pressure is then passed on to wheel brake cylinders via the corresponding brake pressure lines, causing a closure of brake calipers, for instance.
  • ABS anti-lock or anti-skid control systems
  • sensors on the wheels that recognize locking of a particular wheel and report it to a control unit.
  • a magnetic valve incorporated into the brake pressure line is switched to the blocking position, and brake fluid is withdrawn from the wheel brake cylinders, for instance via a return pump, thereby relieving these wheel brake cylinders.
  • ABS magnet valves In the normal operating state, in which there is no current to these so-called ABS magnet valves, the valves are switched on, so that there is continuous communication between the master brake cylinder and the wheel brake cylinder. Only during the anti-lock control is this communication severed, or else from the wheel brake cylinders some other connection is opened for pressure reduction.
  • a dynamic shift in axle load occurs during braking. This depends on the magnitude of the braking deceleration and on the static distribution of the load on the vehicle and the height of its center of gravity. During straight ahead braking, the front wheels are loaded more heavily than the rear wheels.
  • the distribution of brake circuits can be selected as separate for the front and rear axles, as an example, so that if the front axle brake circuit fails, for instance, then the rear axle can still be braked, and vice versa.
  • Diagonal brake circuit distributions are also known, in which one front wheel and a diagonally opposed rear wheel are each assigned to the same brake circuit.
  • the brakes are designed such that the best performance during braking results for medium deceleration. In major deviations from mean values, either the rear wheel can lock, causing the vehicle to spin out, or the front wheel are locked, so that the vehicle can no longer be steered.
  • a pressure reducer is built in the lines between the rear wheel brake cylinders and the master brake cylinder. It is intended to limit the brake pressure acting upon the rear wheel to a certain value.
  • a brake system as defined herein has a substantial advantage that the installation of pressure reducers in the brake systems can be omitted, with little additional expense for controlling the anti-lock control systems. The result is that less tubing is needed, as well as less space for installation.
  • a magnet valve or valves interrupt the applicable brake pressure line to the wheel brake cylinders of one axle.
  • this would be the rear axle of a vehicle.
  • the interruption is effected in the normal operating state, without current to the valve, in other words when no brake pressure is operative in the applicable brake pressure line.
  • the closed valve is triggered upon each actuation of the foot pedal of the brake and is opened in pulsed fashion.
  • This successive pulsed opening of the valve enables a slow approximation to a possibly attainable locking pressure, thereby reducing a tendency of the vehicle to oversteer.
  • An important factor here is that a desired ratio between the opening and closing time of the valve, or in other words in the pulse-to-interval ratio is defined by the control unit.
  • the number of pulsed openings is also significant.
  • a longer-lasting opening of the valve, or an opening in faster succession upstream of the applicable wheel brake cylinder takes place.
  • less pressure, or a slower pressure can be built up in the wheel brake cylinder.
  • the present invention also makes it possible to control the brake system depending on the load status of the vehicle. For example, if a relatively high rear axle load is ascertained by a sensor, then in a braking event, pressure should be built up relatively fast, and/or a relatively high pressure should be built up in the brake line to the rear axle or in the brake lines to both rear axle brake cylinders. Conversely, if there is a low rear axle load, it is only necessary to build up a slight pressure, or to build up the pressure slowly.
  • the valve which is controlled in pulsed fashion, is assigned a check valve and a pressure valve in a bypass, the pressure valve receiving a control pressure via a communication downstream of the return pump.
  • a pressure reducing function can be attained if the valve in the brake pressure line, in a bypass, is assigned a normally open pressure reducing valve, which receives one control pressure via a communication from the wheel brake cylinder and one control pressure via a communication downstream of the return pump.
  • a brake circuit failure can also be recognized via a switch for the brake fluid level. In that case it appears practical for the triggering of the pulsed valve to be effected in the manner occurring upon relatively hard braking; that is, a relatively high pressure buildup, or a relatively fast pressure buildup is produced in the wheel brake cylinder.

  • a brake system P1 as shown in FIG. 1 has a master brake cylinder 1, which can be acted upon with brake pressure by actuation of a brake pedal 2 via a brake booster 3 of a conventional type.
  • a brake pressure line 4 leads to the wheels of a rear axle 5, and the corresponding wheel brake cylinders of both wheels of the rear axle 5 communicate with the brake pressure line 4.
  • a further brake pressure line 6 separately supplies the corresponding wheel brake cylinders of the right front wheel 7 and left front wheel 8.
  • This kind of brake circuit distribution is known as TT-type brake circuit distribution.
  • One magnet valve 9, 10 and 11 for each circuit is incorporated into both the brake pressure line 4 and the branch lines 6a and 6b of the brake pressure line 6 for the right and left front wheels 7 and 8, respectively.
  • Each of these magnet valves is also assigned a check valve 13, 14 and 15, respectively, in a bypass.
  • the magnet valves 9, 10 and 11 have a blocking position and an open position in both directions.
  • the branch line 16 Downstream of the return pump 19 or check valve 21, the branch line 16 leads, via a magnet valve 22, back to the brake pressure line 4 between the magnet valve 9 and the rear axle 5. Via the branch line 16, pressure fluid can also be stored in a reservoir 23 between the check valve 21 and the magnet valve 22.
  • a similar arrangement is provided for the brake pressure line 6, or its branch lines 6a and 6b.
  • both magnet valves 10 and 11 are bypassed by a line 24 in which a corresponding throttle 17a, a damper chamber 18a, a return pump 19a having two check valves 20a and 21a, and an additional reservoir 23a are located.
  • the line 24a branches again and each branch communicates via an additional magnet valve 25 or 26 with the applicable branch line 6a or 6b downstream of the magnet valve 10 or 11.
  • Wheel rotation sensors 34 are assigned to both the rear axle and to the left and right of the front wheel.
  • the wheel rotation sensor 34 on the rear axle has a line 35 in communication with an electrical signal pulsing element 36.
  • the magnet valve 9 is triggered via an electrical control line 37.
  • Both the brake pressure line 4 for the rear axle brake circuit and the brake pressure line 6 for the front axle brake circuit are each assigned pressure sensors 38 and 39, respectively.
  • the pressure sensor 38 is connected to the brake line 4 between the rear axle 5 and the magnet valve 9.
  • the pressure sensor 39 communicates toward the master brake cylinder with the brake pressure line 6 of the front axle brake circuit.
  • These pressure sensors 38 and 39 likewise communicate with the pulsing element 36, and are used in an improved embodiment of the control unit as shown in FIG. 7.
  • a brake light switch 40 which is likewise connected to the pulsing element 36.
  • a brake pedal travel sensor 41 is used, which ascertains the travel of the brake pedal 2 as a function of time.
  • FIG. 5 A corresponding control unit S for the brake system of the invention is shown in FIG. 5.
  • this control unit there are four rotation angle sensors 34, as are required for the exemplary embodiment of a brake system of FIGS. 2 and 4.
  • These sensors 34 are connected to a control block 42, in one zone 43 of which detection and conversion of the values of the rotation angle sensors 34 takes place.
  • a calculation of the wheel speed, the vehicle speed and the necessary vehicle deceleration is effected.
  • a triggering of ABS logic 44 is then effected, and this logic then in turn takes on the triggering of the various magnet valves 10, 11, 22, 25 and 26.
  • the magnet valve 9 is triggered simultaneously, but in this case an OR linkage 45 also allows triggering by the pulsing element.
  • the pulsing element 36 receives its information from a connection 47 to the brake light switch 40. Via the connection 47, the brake light switch 40 is also connected to the ABS logic 44. A connection 46 is also provided between the zone 43 and the pulsing element 36. Via this line 46, an ascertained vehicle deceleration is imparted to the pulsing element.
  • the line 58 carries the information from an active ABS control system to the pulsing element 36.
  • the mode of operation of the brake system of the invention is as follows:
  • the magnet valve 9 for the wheel brake cylinders of the rear axle 5 When it is without electrical current, the magnet valve 9 for the wheel brake cylinders of the rear axle 5 is in the closed state, so that the brake pressure line 4 is blocked.
  • the brake light switch 40 emits a signal to the pulsing element 36, and pulsed triggering of the magnet valve 9 occurs, whereupon this magnet valve 9 opens briefly and then closes again.
  • This pulsed triggering of the magnet valve 9 provides for a slow approximation to a locking pressure that might be attained, and thus prevents a tendency of the vehicle to oversteer.
  • the brake light switch 40 thus starts the pulsing element 36 with constant pulses, for example.
  • the length of the interval between pulses can be shortened via the pulsing element 36.
  • the braking action is decoupled from the brake pressure exertion via the brake pedal 2.
  • the pulsing element 36 is blocked via the line 58, since the ABS control of brake slip takes priority.
  • the pressure buildup is thus dependent on the pulse-to-interval ratio and on the number of pulses.
  • the magnet valve 9 is triggered with a defined pulse-to-interval ratio. If a high brake pressure in the brake line 4 and 6 means that fast vehicle deceleration is desired, for instance, then via the then-specified pulse-to-interval ratio, a fast and/or high pressure buildup in the wheel brake cylinders of the rear axle 5 is attained. Contrarily, if less pronounced vehicle deceleration is desired, then only little pressure may be built up, and/or the pressure may be built up only slowly, by controlling the pulse-to-interval ratio.
  • the vehicle deceleration intention can be calculated from a vehicle speed change caused by the brake pressure fed in via the brake pressure line 6.
  • the pulsing element 36a receives its trigger signal from the brake pedal travel sensor 41, in which a conversion of the brake pedal travel takes place.
  • This brake pedal travel sensor 41 by a comparison of the brake pedal travel d s and the time d t required for this travel, recognizes a rapid pressure rise, which then results in pulse width modulation of the pulsing element 36a.
  • pulse trains of the wheel rotation sensors can also be evaluated.
  • the pulsing element 36a is also connected to a connection 48, via which a rear axle load signal from a suitable sensor, not shown in detail, is input.
  • an ideal brake force distribution can be attained in this way; that is, upon each braking event, the optimal brake pressure ratio for the vehicle deceleration is to be established at least one front wheel and at least one rear wheel.
  • the pulsing element 36a or its evaluation and control element 49 comprises two zones.
  • the determination of the number of pulses is done in zone 50; the determination of the pulse-to-interval ratio is done in zone 51.
  • Both zone 50 and zone 51 receive their signals from their connection 47a to the brake pedal travel sensor 41, the line 46 from the zone 43 and the connection 48 to a rear axle load sensor. However, only zone 50 has an output for the number of pulses, and the communication is established here to the OR linkage 45.
  • the line 58 blocks the pulsing element triggering during the ABS mode.
  • the number of pulses is detected in zone 50 from the pedal travel, the vehicle deceleration and the rear axle load. If the pulses are constant, for example, the interval ratio is defined approximately as follows: ##EQU1##
  • FIG. 7 A further improved embodiment of a pulsing element 36b is shown in FIG. 7.
  • the corresponding evaluation and control element 49a comprises a zone 50a for the number of pulses and a zone 51a for the pulse-to-interval ratio. Both zones receive a signal via the connection 47a from the brake pedal travel sensor 41. They also receive a signal via the connection 48 from a rear axle load sensor.
  • a further connection is provided via the line 46 to the zone 43 in the control block 42, in which the desired vehicle deceleration is calculated.
  • An additional signal is fed to the zone 51a of the pulse-to-interval ratio from a connection 52 to the brake fluid level switch 27.
  • the arithmetic unit 55 is connected to the pressure sensor 39 for the front axle brake circuit, via a connection 53. Since this arithmetic unit 55 is likewise coupled with the zone 43 for the calculated vehicle deceleration, the calculation of an optimal rear axle pressure can be done in this arithmetic unit.
  • This optimal rear axle pressure P H OPT. is then entered into the arithmetic unit 56, in which a comparison is made with a value arriving via a connection 54 from the pressure sensor 38 of the rear axle brake pressure line.
  • a corresponding control signal is then fed via the line 57 to both the zone 50a for ascertaining the number of pulses and to the zone 51a for ascertaining the pulse-to-interval ratio. If the calculated optimal rear axle pressure is for instance higher than that ascertained, then the number of pulses is increased. Contrarily, if the optimal rear axle pressure calculated is equal to or less than the ascertained pressure, then no further pulse is allowed.
  • the signal from the brake fluid level switch 27 that represents a drop below a predetermined brake fluid level sets the interval time to zero. This means that the magnet valve 9 is open.
  • the number of pulses is ascertained from the pedal travel, the vehicle deceleration and the rear axle load.
  • the ascertainment of the pulse-to-interval ratio is done from the vehicle deceleration, the rear axle load, and the comparison between the calculated optimal rear wheel brake pressure and the ascertained actual rear wheel brake pressure.
  • the magnet valves 9, I0 and 11 are blocked in a known manner, and the corresponding wheel brake cylinders of the rear axle 5 and right and left front wheel 7 and 8 are relieved via the magnet valves 22, 25 and 26, respectively.
  • the return of the brake fluid is effected first to the reservoirs 23 and 23a, and then via the return pumps 19 and 19a into the damper chambers 18 and 18a.
  • These damper chambers 18 and 18a in turn communicate with the brake pressure lines 4 and 6, respectively, via the respeotive throttles 17 and 17a.
  • the brake pressure line 6a performs this same task for the wheel brake cylinders of the right front wheel 7 and left rear wheel 5b.
  • Magnet valves, check valves, reservoirs and a return pump are incorporated into each brake pressure line 4a and 6a, as already described in FIG. 1 for the right and left front wheels. For this reason, the reference numerals in the brake lines 4a and 6a have been adapted accordingly. It should be emphasized that in the present exemplary embodiment shown in FIG.
  • a separate magnet valve 9a and 9b is provided for both the right and the left rear wheel, and when it is without current it is in the closed state.
  • both magnet valves 9a and 9b are triggered in pulsed fashion, as described above. Otherwise, the functioning of the brake system is the same as that described above for FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 A further exemplary embodiment of a brake system P3 according to the invention is shown in FIG. 3; the brake system of FIG. 1 can be substantially taken as its point of departure. For this reason, the description of FIG. 1 is understood to apply as a point of departure here.
  • the magnet valve 9 in the brake pressure line 4 for the wheel brake cylinders of the rear axle 5 is assigned a springloaded check valve 32 and a pressure valve 28 in a bypass 29 around the magnet valve 9.
  • the check valve 32 and the pressure valve 28 can have a flow through them in the direction from the master brake cylinder 1 to the wheel brake cylinders of the rear axle 5. In the flow direction, the pressure valve 28 is downstream of the check valve 32.

  • the response pressure of the check valve 32 is higher than the control pressure at which the pressure valve 28 closes.
  • a check valve 32 and a pressure valve 28 assures that if the magnet valve 9 fails and if the anti-control system fails, the wheel brake cylinders of the rear axle 5 will be supplied with brake fluid.
  • the check valve 32 adopts the function of a pressure reducer in auxiliary fashion, in that the pressure at the rear axle 5 is reduced by the response pressure of the check valve. Once these values are attained, the check valve 32 passes the pressure fed into the brake pressure line 4 and on to the wheel brake cylinders of the rear axle 5.
  • the pressure valve 28 In order that the pressure in the wheel brake cylinders of the rear axle 5 can be reduced by the magnet valve 22 to a value below the set response pressure of the check valve 32 during an anti-lock control event, the pressure valve 28 must be closed during ABS operation. This is attained via the control line 30.
  • check valve 31 performs is that during normal braking operation no brake pressure acts upon the pressure valve 28 via the line 30. In this way, only a control pressure in the branch line 16 can be definitive for the pressure valve 28 during ABS operation.
